Get ready for a variety show specially tailored for grownups with half a brain. Now in its 8th smash year, The Ruthless Comedy Hour features top stand-up comedians, musicians and celebrity interviews, and touches on social, political and local concerns by making brutal fun of them. Hosted by stand-up veteran Karen Bergreen and humorist Cynthia Kaplan with special guests Carole Montgomery and Brad Zimmerman.
Carole Montgomery has had a long and successful career in comedy. She has headlined clubs across the USA and starred in two different Las Vegas production shows. Carole created and stars in three Showtime specials for "Funny Women Of a Certain Age." The first special, starring Fran Drescher, made history as the first TV show to showcase female comics over the age of 50. It was the network’s highest rated special of 2019.
Brad Zimmerman is a stand-up comedian and playwright who regularly opened for George Carlin and Joan Rivers (her favorite), among other top comedians. His solo show, "My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy," ran for fifteen months Off-Broadway to rave reviews and continues to tour the country.
